FEEDBACK COMMANDS 

?, ?Cn, STA1 & STA0

The next four commands are a function of both 
the card and the front panel and are only 
available with MultiTasker™ Front Panel 
systems that have the following firmware:

690-0122-015

= Version 015 or later.

690-0123-004

= Version 004 or later.

690-0124-018

= Version 018 or later.

Send the command [VER], and the system will 
respond with feedback that includes the 
following:

690-0122-015  690-0123-004  690-0124-018

Check the last three digits against the numbers 
above to determine if the option is available.

4.  

[?]

This command will return information about the 
MultiTasker™ and cards installed in the unit.

Command Format: [?Ui]

Ui

= Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)

Example:

A  MultiTasker™ with Unit ID #1 has a front 
panel with part number MT101-105 and 
contains an 

MT110-102

. Send the command 

[?U1] and receive the following feedback:

[(MT101-105U1)(MT110-102C04)] 

MT101-105U1

= Panel Number and Unit ID

MT110-102C04 = An MT110-102 is in slot 4

5.  

[?C]

This command will return general information 
about the card and its status.

Command Format: [?CnUi]

Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)

Ui

= Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)

Example:

The 

MT110-102

in slot 4 has Input 1 connected 

to all outputs. All outputs are on. Send the 
command [?C4] to receive feedback status 
similar to the following. 

[(MT110-102C04)(VR690-0152-011C04)
(ON11111111C04)(MA0101010101010101C04)
(MX16x8C04)(VO3232323232323232C04)
(MU0C04)]

All status feedback is enclosed in brackets, “[ ]”. 
Each data field within the status is enclosed in 
parentheses. The first two characters identify 
the status type. The last three characters are 
the card’s ID.

MT110-102

= Card Model Number

VR690-0152-011

= Firmware version

ON11111111

= Output ON/OFF status

MA0101010101…

= Matrix I/O connections

MX16x8

= Matrix Configuration

VO32323232…

= Output Volume Levels

MU0C04

= Mute On/Off Status

The ON/OFF status line is read from left to right 
as outputs 1-8. A ‘1’ indicates the output is on 
and a ‘0’ indicates the output is off.
